1. Check the gas cap. Make sure it is tight. If it leaks, fuel vapors can escape and cause the light to come on.
2. Check the air filter. If it is dirty, it can restrict airflow to the engine and cause the light to come on.
3. Check the oxygen sensor. If it is faulty, it can send incorrect information to the engine computer, which can cause the light to come on.
4. Check the spark plugs. If they are worn or damaged, they can cause the engine to misfire and cause the light to come on.
5. Check the catalytic converter. If it is clogged, it can restrict the flow of exhaust gas and cause the light to come on.
Method 2:
1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
2. Wait 30 seconds.
3. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
4. Start the car.
The light should be reset and turned off. If the light comes on again, there is a problem with the car that needs to be fixed.
Please note that the above methods may not work for all Taurus and Sable models. If the light does not go off, it is recommended that you take your car to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
